* Authenticity and product guarantee.
The very first question you may ask is why are your glasses so much cheaper than at retails stores? Are they even authentic? That's a very good question and you have every right to be suspicious. So, let us assure you that here at DreamShades.com you will ONLY get 100% authentic and brand new eyewear. All sunglasses and eyeglasses are ordered directly from their respective manufacturers and then shipped to customers from our New York offices. All glasses come with the original carrying case with imprinted designer logo, original cleaning cloth and paper work. Some brands may include different style of carrying case but it will always be 100% authentic just like if it was purchased at a department store. We have been selling eyewear for the last 10 years in our 3 NYC locations. For the past 4 years we have been successfully running DreamShades.com and we would not ruin our reputation by selling replicas.
* Product Availability and Backorders.
Most of the 30,000 + products advertised on DreamShades.com are currently in stock and ready to ship within 1 - 3 business days. In rare cases, we may take your order and then discover that a product is not available for shipping (i.e., it's backordered or sold out before the system is updated).
In the event that DreamShades.com is not able to ship out the product you have ordered, we will notify you via e-mail and do our utmost to fulfill the order as soon as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Your card will NOT be charged until your order leaves our warehouse. When an order is first placed your credit card is just authorized. The authorization usually stays for no more than 24 hours. For ex., if your product is back-ordered for 1 week the authorization will be removed after 24 hours and your card will be charged only when the product is available and shipped. Backordered items usually become available within 1 - 2 weeks. Should it take longer than that we will notify you by email or teplephone. Because DreamShades.com offers products at a heavily discounted price, many of our products sell out very fast. We update our site twice a day, but there is a short delay in reflecting the actual quantities of product on hand—particularly since hundreds of people visit our online store every day.
* Do You Collect Sales Tax?
Sales tax will be collected on all orders that are processed with a New York shipping address, regardless of the location the product ships from.
Remote sellers such as Internet retailers and catalog companies are required to collect taxes in states where the company has a physical presence. DreamShades.com has facilities in New York and therefore taxes are applied to orders which are shipped to New York.
* How come I see some glasses sold at stores for $300+ and DreamShades.com sells is for half of that?
DreamShades.com is well known for providing the best prices on the web and a great customer service. So, how are we able to give you such good prices? Our sales and marketing teams worked very hard to work out a system that cuts the overhead by as much as 50% from what it was 4 years ago when DreamShades.com was born. Therefore, we're able to pass this discount on to you and save you hundreds without cutting deep into our profits.
* What is re-stocking fees?
DreamShades.com charges re-stocking fees on orders that have been returned to us because customers changed their mind or not happy with the size, color or how the glasses fit. In cases like these, we need to cover our expenses associated with this kind of transaction. Specifically, 5% credit card fees, $7.85 shipping charge, advertismement fees and other costs associated with the purchase. If you're exchanging the fee is only 5%(plus cost of shipping) as opposed to 15% (plus shipping) when you return for a refund. Please see more information on returns below. To save time and money it is STRONGLY recommended that you visit you local optical shop or department store before making your purchase.
* Prescription Lenses and custom jobs?
As mentioned above, most orders ship out within 1-3 business days. If you glasses require prescription lenses it may take longer than that. In most cases it takes between 7 and 10 business days to fill a prescription lens order. Sometimes it may take longer but never more than 4 weeks. In this situation we will notify you of the delay immediately and we'll inform you on your order progress via email or phone.
